I'ts definitely interesting. Adds room for classic Halo skill but takes away a certain pacing that the game was based around.
The Sniper has become less useful as well as most other guns and the pistol dominates everything except long shots.
I would say overall I prefer bloom as of tonight's experience in custom games.
Spawning with both pistol and DMR is a tragic case, for anyone who values their life, among the small/ mid-sized maps.

Bums me out I haven't gotten to try it yet, but I'm at my parents' place and getting on Live will be nigh impossible without an 80 foot Ethernet cable. Instead I'm catching up on RDR, Deus Ex, and Mirror's Edge. So am I to understand that the rate of fire of these weapons hasn't been limited at all? I am not in favor of this... I really don't want to spend every game mashing away on the trigger like every gun is the plasma pistol.

Alright fuck it, I'm going to do what needs to be done to get on and try this tonight. I'll grab my mic and the longest ethernet cable I have in my apartment before I head to my parents' and, if worst comes to worst, play from the kitchen on the little tiny Samsung LCD (it's so cute and it's white so it matches my Xbox). I want to try this one.
